The main point to take away from this story is...Global Warming is a good thing when one considers the alternatives.Climate changes; always has, always will.The END of Climate Change = the END of Earth.

Prof. Thomas Pederson, executive director of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, and former dean of science at the University of Victoria, noted in an email that the study was conducted by one of the best teams of climate scientists in the world.

Given continuing acceleration of emissions globally, Pederson wrote,were on or near the worst-case track that Meinshausen et al. modelled, and that puts us on a probable course for several degrees of planetary warming by the end of this century. In a word, that will be disastrous.

An even more alarming assessment comes from University of B.C. Prof. William Rees, originator of the ecological footprint concept.

I havent read this particular study, Rees wrote,but it sounds about right. If I recall, the United Kingdoms Tyndall Centre (for Climate Change Research) suggests that a 90-per-cent reduction in carbon emissions from high income countries may be necessary.

In any event, various authors dont believe we have any hope of cutting greenhouse gases sufficiently in time to avoid a two Celsius degree increase in mean global temperature since to date, no serious steps have been taken to wean the world off fossil fuels.

Youre asking the spacedoutblues to think. Now that would be one tall expectation but my hat is off to you Sir. Now if youre interested in scientific science fiction the spacedoutblues can ramble on endlessly with that cut and paste useless babble.

I never tire telling the true traits of "fetid feces face flip flopper fiend". It lied saying it had a PHD. It isn't a doctor, while it diagnoses wrongly. It has no science & mathematics degrees. It has no upper class science, chemistry, astronomy, physics, algebra or pre-calc for its poorly earned hi skule DEE-plooomaa(if it has that).
